Summary
Mike McCready delivered a guitar-solo version of the national anthem before Seattle's Week 1 opener, giving the Seahawks' 25th-anniversary 9/11 tribute a distinctly local tone.
The performance followed an in-stadium announcement marking the Sept. 11 attacks as the deadliest in U.S. history and a moment of silence observed at Lumen Field.
Seattle also invited first responders who had traveled to aid recovery efforts after the 2001 attacks, while a military flyover capped the pregame ceremony.
The tribute opened the NFL's 2026 regular season, with similar 9/11 commemorations set for games later Thursday, Sunday and Monday.
